What are Software Repositories?
Repositories store container images which represent executable packages containing everything required to run a discrete application including the code, system tools, system libraries, and the runtime and settings of the application.
Public repositories securely store, publish, and freely share open-source software. Organizations use private repositories to manage their proprietary software resources. They can publish that software and charge fees through licensing arrangements. Code repositories support the discovery of software assets and promote code reuse.
Development teams often rely on both open-source packages and those built within their organization. Some repositories only support package managers for specific development platforms such as Java (npm), Python (pip), Ruby (RubyGems), or .Net (NuGet). Integrated software repository solutions support multiple package types from both public and private sources. The repositories identify potential licensing and security issues.
